An additional rating option in Netflix

November 20th, 2009

** I just stumbled on this unfinished entry from many months ago. It’s unclear what it was all about, but it’s kind of funny just the way it is? **

Sometimes while viewing a DVD you may find yourself in a state of negative-enthusiasm. The appropriate response to this situation is to terminate the viewing experience.

** update 2: “UNWATCHABLE” should be the new rating option. Meaning you tried to watch it but couldn’t stick it out. Turning a movie off after 10 minutes and rating it as “HATED IT” is uninformative, because technically you only hated 10 minutes of it. You might have loved the end, and then would’ve given the entire film 3 stars, but you bailed, or I bailed, and now the overall rating average of that movie is skewed. **

Wax paper (not shown) sits between each jelly/bread layer to avoid soggy conditions.

(The whole loaf is PB&J’s. I just didn’t draw them all.)

Some sideshow freaks that could have an adventure together. The bottom 4 were contributed by a person who is not me. Submit a comment if you’ve got a good idea for a sideshow freak. There are no rules.

Diet Jail

April 6th, 2009

A weight loss program that is a jail. You pay someone to lock you in a prison for a fixed amount of time. They feed you a fixed amount of food. You go crazy and demand more food, better treatment, just as if you were in a regular prison. Maybe they force you to do manual labor, too.
When they let you out, you’re skinnier and in better shape.

Nature-Walk Cell Phone application

February 22nd, 2009

plantsnapshot_01
arrow
wikipedia2_small

How it’s used: take a snapshot of any plant you come across, and the application tells you what it is.

How it might work: plant database would be kept of all types of plants. Using technology like Apple or Google’s face-detection, the software would compare the shape/color of a leaf, for example, and compare it to all of the images in its plant database. Then it’d take you to its own website or Wikipedia page about the plant.

The database and application would exist in some puffy white thing. The phone application would simply snap the picture, and send it to a server somewhere where all the analysis would be done.

Instead of working…

I want my projected-salary for the year taken from...

Here’s how it’d work:

The rich person: their lifestyle wouldn’t be affected, they’d just be annoyed.

The poor people: you’d get some money from each poor person, but still leave each of them enough to live on; but JUST enough. If you took all of their wages to create your income, they’d starve and die pretty fast, then you’d have to find a job.

The resurrection!

January 25th, 2009

So, I broke the website a while back. And when I went to fix it I found I was missing all posts newer than June 2007.

I found all of the posts in an RSS cache, but had to paste them in one at a time. While I was at it I decided to self-critique all of those old, forgotten posts. Kind of like a director’s commentary. It was fun.

The first commentary starts on October 3rd, 2007. Then I work my way up to THE PRESENT DAY (September 28th 2008, actually).

Check em’ out!
